births the seed and stirs the mill,
so my word goes forth with power
to perfect my gracious will."

And bless thy sacred Name!

Come see the Pow'r of Christ our King
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #LIII (1791) Topics: liturgical Songs of Response; Invitation to Praise and Repentance Lyrics: 1 Come see the Pow'r of Christ our King
When on the Cross the Saviour hung,
His Grace a dying Thief did bring,
To own him with his Heart and Tongue.
2 Our Malefactor scorn'd Christ's Name,
The other did his Sin reprove;
Then said by Faith to God's dear Lamb,
"Remember me O Lord above."
3 What noble Faith in him appear'd,
That he could trust a dying Lord!
He soon the blessed Jesus heard
pronounce this sweet reviving Word;
4 "Amen, this Day thy Soul shall be
"With me in Paradise above."
This made the dying Pris'ner free;
These Words were full of boundless Love.
5 What Comfort did this Speech convey,
To his poor guilty wretched Mind!
When thus he heard the Saviour say,
Great Peace the Criminal did find.
6 Thus Jesus Christ forgave the Thierf,
And shew'd great Mercy to the Man;
So in the midst of Woe and Grief,
His Joy and Happiness began.
7 O how he sings the Saviour's Praise,
Who took him at the very last,
When he his youthful Strength and Days
In Satan's Cause had spent and past!
8 Now he adores God's holy Name,
And stands before the Saviours Face;
And will eternally proclaim
The boundless Riches of his Grace! Scripture: Luke 23:39-43 Languages: English
Come see the Pow'r of Christ our King
Invitation
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #LVI (1791) Topics: liturgical Songs of Response; Invitation to Praise and Repentance First Line: Come ye Sinners Poor and Wretched Lyrics: 1 Come ye Sinners Poor and Wretched,
Weak and wounded sick and sore;
Jesus ready stands to save you,
Full of Pity, Love and Pow'r;
He is able,
He is willing; doubt no more.
2 Ho! ye Needy, come and welcome,
God's Free-Bounty glorify,
True belief and true Repentance,
Ev'ry Grace that brings us nigh,
Without Money,
Come to Jesus Christ and buy.
3 Let not Conscience make you linger,
Nor of Fitness fondly dream:
All the Fitness he requireth,
Is to feel you Need of him;
This he gives you,
'Tis the Spirits glimm'ring Beam.
4 Come ye weary, heavy laden,
Bruis'd and mangled by the Fall.
If you tarry till you're better,
You will never come at all;
Not the Righteous,
Sinners Jesus came to call.
5 Agonizing in the Garden,
Lo your Maker prostrate lies!
On the bloody Tree behold him,
Hear him cry before he dies,
"It is finish'd,"
Sinner, will not this suffice?
6 Lo! th' incarnate God ascended,
Pleads the Merit of his Blood;
Venture on him, venture freely,
Let no other Trust intrude:
None but Jesus,
Can do helpless Sinners good.
7 Saints and Angels, join'd in Concert,
Sing the Praises of the Lamb,
While the blissful Seats of Heaven,
Sweetly Echo with his Name,
Hallelujah!
Sinners here may do the same.

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #LXVI (1791) Topics: liturgical Songs of Response; Invitation to Praise and Repentance Lyrics: 1 Disciples of Christ
Ye Friends of the Lamb;
Attend, and assist
In sing his Fame:
Eternal Thanksgiving
The Faithful should pay,
The Living, the Living,
As we do this Day.
2 A Body of Clay
He humbly put on.
And then took away
The Sin we had done;
And in it endured
The Wrath to us due,
The Curse we incurred,
Our Stripes and our Woe.
3 Not only he dy'd,
But also arose;
Laid Weakness aside,
And over his Foes,
(Sin, Death, and the Devil,)
He triumph'd, and o'er
This World, and all Evil,
Dominion and Pow'r.
4 O merciful Lamb,
Who sits on the Throne,
We bow at thy Name,
The Saviour we own,
Deserving our Blessing,
And Blessing we'll give,
Without ever ceasing,
So long as we live.

From all that dwell below the skies
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #LXXX (1791) Topics: liturgical Songs of Response; Invitation to Praise and Repentance Scripture: Psalm 19
From all that dwell below the skies
I Ask'd the LORD that I might grow
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CXIX (1791) Topics: liturgical Songs of Response; Invitation ot Praise and Repentance Lyrics: 1 I Ask'd the LORD that I might grow
In Faith, and Love, and ev'ry Grace;
Might more of his Salvation know,
And seek more earnestly his Face.
2 'Twas he who taught me thus to pray;
And he, I trust, has answer'd Pray'r:
But it has been in such a Way
As almost drove me to Despair.
3 I hop'd that in some favour'd Hour,
At once he'd grant me my Request;
And, by his Love's constraining Pow'r,
Subdue my Sins, and give me Rest.
4 Instead of this, he made me feel
The hidden Evils of my Heart,
And let the angry Pow'rs of Hell
Assault my soul in ev'ry Part.
5 Yea more, with his own Hand he seem'd
Intent to agravate my Woe;
Cross'd all the fair Designs I schem'd,
Blasted my Gourds, and laid me low.
6 LORD, why is this? I trembling cry'd;
Wilt thou pursue thy worm to Death?
'Tis in this Way, the LORD reply'd,
I answer Pray'r for Grace and Faith.
7 These inward Trials I employ
From Self and Pride to set thee free,
To break thy Schemes of worldly Joy,
That thou may'st seek thy All in Me. Languages: English
I Ask'd the LORD that I might grow
Know, ye that are of Adam's race
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CXLVIII (1791) Topics: liturgical Songs of Response; Invitation to Praise and Repentance Lyrics: 1 Know, ye that are of Adams Race,
That God hath call'd you by his Grace;
And has proclaim'd his Gospel loud,
For to give Warning to the Proud,
2 Ye youthful Virgins stop, and pause,
And think upon your Sav'ours Laws;
Let not your Life which God has lent,
Alone in Vanity be spent.
3 Awake to Thought! ye tender Souls,
And think, alas! we are but Fools,
To Spend our Time, which ends in Strife,
And lose this glorious Scene of Life.
4 Your Life to God must be resign'd;
Your Mind in Jesus be confin'd;
For Word and Action must agree,
If Jesus Christ shall set you free.
5 That Servant Form you must put on,
And think that Christ's before me gone,
He is the Way, the Truth, and Life,
Therefore forsake this World of Strife. Languages: English
Know, ye that are of Adam's race
